'(disambiguation)' (album stream)

Indie-rocker-turned-electronic-musician A.A. Wallace previously fronted Sleepless Night, and now he's ready to take the solo plunge by releasing his debut full-length. The cryptically titled (disambiguation) is out on May 7 through Acadian Embassy, and you can stream the whole thing now on Exclaim.ca.

The Halifax-based Wallace recorded these eight songs in a bedroom using found sounds from bargain bin records and broken toys. Sonic touchstones include French house, chillwave and DIY electro, and a press release calls the disc a "nu-disco album about alienation and failure."

The album kicks off with the laid-back electro-pop dance beats of "Offline." Elsewhere, "Post-Mortem Depression" sinks into murkier instrumental terrain, while "Complaining About Airports" is filled with creepy samples and apocalyptic vibes, and "Lipstick and Stethoscopes" is funkily upbeat.
